Nebraska Launches Stimulus Transparency Website

Gov. Dave Heineman today announced the launch of a website dedicated to providing information on Nebraska’s stimulus funding. The site is available now at http://www.Recovery.Nebraska.gov.

The site serves as the State of Nebraska’s portal for informing citizens on the use of federal stimulus funding received under the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). It will be updated regularly as funding is received and new projects are announced.

“This website will give Nebraskans direct access to stimulus information,” Gov. Heineman said. “Full accountability and complete transparency is essential. We intend to provide frequent updates on how Nebraska uses this funding. This website is a way to get information on the more than 50 state-run programs expected to receive federal stimulus funding.” (More Info Here)
